Description
I doubt Barzal leaves or gets traded this offseason.

That said, if we absolutely had to get rid of him, I think a good replacement would be Nico Hischier. Signing Barzal to a eight figure contract that barely takes him past UFA would take up a pot of cap space and could leave us in another Tavares situation in a few years. Hischier is about the same age as Barzal, can still score and as a more 2-Way Forward, I'd see him being a better fit in Trotz' system than Barzal. Signing Hischier would also save us a fair bit of cap space in the long term (if Hischier develops the way a 1st overall pick should, that's a nice contract), and New Jersey would get an overall better center coming back. I'd think New Jersey would have to add in this trade, but I'm unsure of how much they'd have to add.

As far as the horde of albatross contracts the Isles have, I think we can deal Leddy. get a decent return and that should give us enough short germ cap space. With Seattle coming into the league after next year, we could probably pick bribe them into expansion drafting the last year of Boychuk's contract or the last two years of Ladd's contract.

    I don’t hate it if we absolutely had to trade Barzy. And I could just tape Hischier on my #13 jersey traitor style!

    even though it's young kid for young kid I don't think you can make this trade in the division. And yes, Devils would have to add, considerably.

    Probably true. Can’t think of a comparable considerably young 2 Way guy who’d fit a Trotz system like Hischier does. Maybe Barrett Hayton would fit similarly, but he’s infinitely less proven than Hischier and Arizona would have to add way more than New Jersey to make it work.
